(89-91) Aromas of raspberries, small red berries, cherries, orange rind and sweet soil tones introduce Chevillon's excellent 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes, a medium-bodied, supple and expressive wine with an open-knit core of succulent fruit and fine-grained structuring tannins. As usual, it's an excellent representation of the appellation. - WK

The 2017 old vine bottling of Nuits AC is outstanding chez Chevillon, offering up an expressive and very pure bouquet of black cherries, sweet dark berries, raw cocoa, a superb base of dark soil tones, gamebird, woodsmoke and a discreet framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full and nicely sappy at the core, with a soil-driven personality, ripe tannins and excellent focus and grip on the poised, complex and perfectly balanced finish. A superb villages in the making!
